Hoopfest 2017


The girls played in another Hoopfest.  They were sponsored by one of the Mom's business this year.  They started out the day with an 8am sign in for their first game.


Emma, Allison, Lexie and Olivia were our players this year.


Marcus and Javin did a good job keeping score.


Olivia shows off her stuff.


First game was a tough one.


We played hard but came out with a loss.


Our next game was at 2:30 so we went to center court to watch the pros play.


Marcus wants this car.


This year our court was right outside of my work building so we escaped the heat and had some lunch in our kitchen at work.


These girls are ready...they changed their hair into pigtails hoping that would make the difference.


How cute!


Jacob and Justin were playing in Hoopfest too and came to cheer the girls on.


One last word from Coach Michael.


Olivia and Emma go in for the steal.


Emma was a good point guard.


Go Emma.


Emma up at the free throw line...she made it!


Emma played great defense too.


Olivia did amazing as well.


Good game...our first win!


Marc, Devan and Micheal were great coaches.

Emma got so dirty...she was having a blast.


Olivia LOVES Hoopefest.


Marcus had a ton of fun too.


The girls got their nicknames put on the backs of their shirts.


We walked over to Jacob's court to watch him play too...Emma dribbled the ball the entire way.


Love these kids.


Last game of the day...look at those smiles...love the sportsmanship.


Emma going in for a basket.


Olivia shoots it up.


Emma with another free throw.  Emma had a great game...even made an outside shot for 2 points (all baskets are 1 point unless it's beyond the 3-point line).  Unfortunately they came up short and lost this game by 1 point...so this is the first year we did not make it to the 2nd day.  But they played their hearts out and had a ton of fun!  Another Great Hoopfest in the books!

End of the Softball Season Party


We threw the end of the season softball party.  The girls talked me into cake and cupcakes again...this time shaped as softballs!  It was another ice cream cake.  YUM!


It was around 70 degrees outside so there was a lot of hot tub time.


Only 8 of the 12 girls could make it to the party.


1....2.....3....


JUMP!


SPLASH!


Thanks coaches!  The girls had such a fun season!


The fun went into the evening.


The pool is a hit.
Riverside Ram Kids!  Great Friends.


The girls even got some karaoke in.

We had some night owls.  What a fun group!

Baseball Championship Game


Marcus's team made the Championship!  Marcus plays center field so here he is warming up...nice catch Marcus!


Fielding the ball.


The sisters cheering on their brothers.


The girls got 4 teeth pulled but they still managed to eat Cheetos the same day.  They are tough!


Marcus gets a talk from Coach Russ and Coach Michael before he goes up to bat.


Marcus is up to bat.


He attempts to bunt.


Marcus made it to first.  Coach Michael gives him five and talks strategy.


Marcus steals second...he goes in for the slide.


And makes it!


Don't you love that smile!


He's on third!  He did not end up scoring before our team got 3 outs.


We lost the game but the boys played hard.  


You can tell there is some disappointment...we were all very proud of them for making the championship game.  They had a really great season overall.
